Jakarta International Airport

Overview

Situated on the island of Java, just west of Jakarta,
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (SHIA) is an important
regional aerial hub and a popular international entry point to
Indonesia. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport was ranked in 2014
as the 8th busiest airport worldwide when it served over 62 million
passengers.

With three terminals housing many passenger amenities including
restaurants, cafés, shops and duty-free zones, SHIA is set
to expand even further to include a fourth terminal building and a
general refurbishment of all existing terminals. This constant
development ensures that SHIA is always striving to offer
passengers as smooth an experience as possible.

Location

The airport is situated 12 miles (20km) northwest of Jakarta.

destinations in and around Jakarta until about 11pm. The bus that

long as an hour and a half if traffic is bad.

are friendly and efficient. There are shops, banks, bars and
restaurants, and tourist information and hotel reservations at the

with special needs are advised to inform their airline in
advance.
